So the DOJ censored/edited the 911 call from Omar Matteen to hide any reference to islam?

Wonder who ordered that?

I am not certain that the attack in Orlando was motivated solely by ideology, but still….Trying to hide what we already were aware of?

This action shows how arrogant the Obama minions are, and how stupid they think the public is (I guess, since he got re-elected he may not be entirely wrong there, but still)

One wonders why he tries to hide the identities of these people? Is he Muslim and is simply practicing taqiyya…? Trying to keep the rest of the citizens from rising in outrage?

ETA: seems that they have reversed the stance, and have released the unedited/uncensored tapes.

Pretty stupid to even try, really. Might have gotten away with that 30 years ago, but today? Not a chance. I guess he thought that the News Media would follow along.

“You don’t have a constitutional right to come to America.”

About time someone in Government realized this.

I am the descendant of immigrants. They came, they assimilated, they loved this country over the one they left. They made this country their own, and they loved it for the opportunities it offered and the freedoms it bestowed upon them. They made a life here, and they chose to stay and they chose to be CITIZENS.

THIS.

That is all.

First, of course, they want to ban anyone on the no fly list. A list wherein you are added just because some bureaucrat says you belong on the list…based on unknown criteria.

With, effectively, no way off….and you won’t know you are on until you are told that you can’t fly. Might be a similar name. Maybe because you are a member of a club that someone else on the No Fly list belongs to….Maybe because you pissed off some TSA flunky one day. (No one really knows how you get on the list….)…AND THERE IS NO METHOD TO APPEAL YOUR BEING ON THE LIST unless you can get a senator to intervene…..

Then they want the Terror Watch list. Same thing, really. No one knows how you get on the list, and really no one knows they ARE on the list. And if you did discover that you were on the list, there is no way to appeal or have your listing reviewed.

Seems to me,. that if your right to fly is to be restricted, then you are too dangerous to be walking the streets. Same with the Terror Watch list. After the Paris Attacks, the authorities KNEW who to detain, question, and subsequently arrest. Those folks were already on the watch list….they just rounded ’em up.  How many died, how many lives were destroyed or forever altered because those folks on the French Watch list were allowed to run around and do their dastardly deeds (or aid those who DID do the deeds)?

If you are truly a danger, enough that you are on the Watch list, or the No Fly list, you should be under arrest and detained by the Feds while they investigate to make their case…..Or you should be investigated and released. The criteria are either too lax or the criteria aren’t being properly implemented in either case.

Here is the thing: If due to suspicion you are deemed dangerous enough to be denied a Constitutional right, then you should be JAILED for the goosd of socienty and your fellow citizens. If you aren’t that dangerous, then no denial of rights should happen.

Now they want to restrict a Constitutional right based upon a list that is poorly vetted (if indeed, it is vetted at all).

And now, Senator Bob Casey wants to restrict your Constitutionally guaranteed Second Amendment rights because of “Hate Speech”? Not of conviction of Hate Speech, but SUSPICION of hate speech. (Sidebar here: How does “Hate Speech” laws reconcile with Free Speech? . When did an opinion or statement of belief become against the law? How do the two reconcile? And why aren’t anti gunners who post those terrible tweets and missives (and wish me dead and such) in comments on HuffPo articles arrested and charged with Hate Speech? How about those muslims (and Presidential Preachers) who say “death to America!” (Is it because some hate speech is ok and other kinds are not? Who decides?)

Again though: Senator Casey wants to restrict your rights based on SUSPICION….not conviction….SUSPICION. What is next? At what point will we stop?

Much of what I write here could be, under some criteria, used as evidence of suspicion of hate speech/WrongThink….By someone who wants to point me out to suspend my rights…..and in their perfect world, I will never get my “Speedy Trial” either…..

And after me? You. Yep, you. You returned here many times, therefore you must agree with me…..Turn over your guns and other rights, Citizen.

So my younger brother brought my nephew to see me from Illinois, and we spent the afternoon at the range shooting rimfire.

He (nephew) has his maternal grandfathers Remington 511 “ScoreMaster” which I cleaned and lubed when it was given to him about a year ago (the thing hadn’t had more than 100 rounds through it, and, aside from petrified gun oil and dust was, actually, in perfect condition) Has a tiny thin 4X scope on it, but in bright sunny conditions that works very well.

We called my other brother and my Dad for a range day. All had fun. 3 generations on a range. This is why we win. There is no equivalent “(Anti) range day” that can compete.

We poked a few holes in paper at 25, then 50, yards, rang the gongs at 50 yards. Then knocked over bowling pins at 50 yards (nephew really likes that).

His dad (my youngest brother) put a few hundred rounds through the Marlin lever action ,22 model 1897. I think I am gonna get him one for Christmas, if I can find one. Or a 39M.

Nephew liked the Savage bolt gun too, but not as much as grandad’s rifle.

Of course, everyone likes the Non-Ruger 10-22 in Red/White/Blue. 2 lb trigger, Big 4-10 X 60 scope, What’s not to like?

Dad shot his 9mm pistol, and we all shot his recently-found Springfield .22 single shot (no model number that I can find). It has extraction issues, but I am sure I can fix that. Clean, no rust, good trigger. Likely old as shit as there is no serial number that I can find.

I did put 25 rounds through the Para LDA with the new Kimber spring (the original Para spring is, of course, not available, and is now at  over twice the recommended round count for replacement…., and Remington (who says they will honor the lifetime warranty) doesn’t have parts and is no help…The Kimber coaxial spring fits (with a bit of filing) and appears to work just fine.

That was all good…

The disappointment:

The Sig 1911 that I had bought?

Not so good.

I had cleaned it of the factory goo lube and lubed it. Swabbed the barrel of same goo. Reassembled… Just hadn’t gotten to the range.

Today was the day. Pulled it out of the box….Middle bro was waiting his turn to shoot it…..

Went to load a mag.:

Odd: the cartridges won’t go into the mag?

Lets try the other mag:

Same thing? WTF?

Middle bro is looking at me like I am a window licking special needs kid (the ones they make wear a helmet).

I hand him the mag and some .45 ACP.

He can’t seem to load ’em either. (he, while he has his moments, isn’t stupid…or retarded). Yes, I know some folks find that term offensive….Deal with it.

Hands mag back to me….

I look at base of mag….

odd, it is stamped “9mm”.

Well, that might could be the issue….I suppose even Sig can make a mistake…..

He offers me a Wilson Combat 8 rounder for .45 from his pistol…. I load 2 (first time firing). Begin to insert the mag in the magwell….

I stop for a minute and look closely at the barrel.

It too says “9MM”.

Strange….I
thought I had purchased a .45.

Paper work (still in box) says .45?

I WAS tempted to shoot it..we had a shitload of 9 there.

But I didn’t. Put it away

Got back from the range. Called Gander Mountain where I had ordered it..

They “don’t take guns back”.

Usually.

Explained the issue.

Surprisingly for a big box corporate store, once they had looked up the order, they asked me to bring the pistol back.

Took a while, 4 managers to do different overrides, but they have now ordered the correct model and it will be here on Wed.

When I bought it, I had checked the serial number to make sure it matched the box and paperwork, but I didn’t check the barrel for caliber. I had ordered a .45 and (foolishly) thought that was what had come.  My bad, I guess.

Kind of a bummer, but I do have to say that the Gander Mountain staff handled it well. Treated me well. Apologized over and over.

It isn’t that you made a mistake, it is how you fix the mistake that counts.

So that was the afternoon

How does he sit there with his pants on fire?

“I would sue any President that exceeds his or her powers.” 

What a lying sack of excrement.

Were that the case, Barry and he would be in court right now. Would have been from about the 4th month of the first terms of Barry the Magnificent (gun) salesman.

But I must have missed the court cases. Perhaps the Media isn’t reporting them….

Until Cheaper than Dirt (no link from me, I won”t ever link to them nor buy from them again) jacks the pricing on ammo and mags through the roof again once the panic hits. Do you remember $89 PMags? .

I remember. And you should too.

Since these attacks nearly always have a “Muslim” theme to the, yet they are all “Isolated Incidents” according to Authorities. (whose authority, BTW?) …..
Then why are all gun owners attacked and out Second amendment at risk by the Gun Grabbers? They are, after all, “Isolated incidents”, right? Just deranged individuals. Not because of religion, not because of guns. Just “isolated incidents”.

‘Cause we can blame the religion just like they blame the guns….

So does this mean we get to restrict Muslims? Perhaps set a curfew? Allow them to be searched at any time? Subject to special licensing? Muslim Permits? Limits on how many children they can have? How many muslims can be in a house at one time without proper storage? Mandatory child locks on teachings?

Yust a thought

So I am in for my annual physical:

Which includes “The Finger”.

The doc does the deed, and then I look over my shoulder and said “Don’t waste your breath telling me about self examinations, Doc….Ain’t gonna happen”.

He laughed…Hard.

I am apparently good for another year or 34,000 miles, whichever comes first….

John McCain, No friend of gun owners

And the GOP wonders why I won’t give them any money or support.
